DDR3 is PC RAM, GDDR3 then Graphic Card DDR3 RAM and u never heard SDR (SD RAM) coz it is unique in nowadays.

actually, fbing, surfing or just playing music does not cause the laptop to run very hot, or even warm.. its actually quite cool. Its when you start playin INTENSIVE games, like COD6 or Crysis that it starts to heat up, games like chess or flash games wont cause it to heat up.

hmmmm ok. so far i also dun think it will get hot since my university so cold in everywhere especially the library ground floor super cold and comfortable.

Not need to worry about this. I also plan to buy this laptop tomorrow morning.
Air cond room definitely does help a lot in reducing your laptop temperature compare to any cooler.
I am mad with my xpsm1530 because the graphic chipset keep spoiled. Even surfing net and do assignment can make my m1530 super hot.

too bad to heard that. hmmm if i'm not mistaken, maybe integrated cooler is out of function.

Actually not hot la. I used it at non air-cond place, the temp is around 35-45C average.

Putting any sticker at the laptop cover will void the warranty ah?

Nope, sticker won't void the warranty.

Hey guys my model is slightly different,it's 4740-332G50.Pretty similiar la just the proc and gc only.

When I measure the temp using Speedfan,the GPU temp is 50 celcius

Core 0,1,2 and 3 is pretty ok around 40 celcius +.

When I put on my lap,it feels quite warm.I'm wearing normal cotton shorts.

Is the temp and warmth normal??

I'm in a non-aircond room btw,in the afternoon now.

we choose 4745G becoz of design and it's looks more stylish. duno much about the temperature, i think is normal gua.

Can show me example of pics pls?If can maybe your real 4745g

I chose this becos it's cheaper,but quite worth it also right buying 4740 for rm2299 only..

but 4740G spec not good as 4745G, u wan the pic? click the following web site:

ACER 4745G is worth my pennies.. just got it 3 weeks ago!..

so how it is? nice to use? u use it for ???

Guys, whats the latest ATI driver for this laptop? I saw 10.3a doesn't support switchable graphics, is it?

I use the Intel Graphic utility to switch between ATI & integrated graphic card. Didn't bother about which utility as long as it works...ha..ha..

TS you should change the topic title la,make this thread the fan club or discussion thread or something,where users of this laptop gather and discuss about this lappy.

'Battery life' sounds as if u just asking bout the battery life.

hm, actually hot laptops does not mean won't last. My S42 is approaching 2 years, (november) Idle gpu temp =60 ish and gaming is 75-85 range... no need warrenty before.

also SDR showed in GPUZ is because the gpu is new, so it doesn't detect accurately. iirc it should be ddr2

Wow idle 60+,mine when surfing only is about 46+ with cooler,I'm just using a cheap RM15 TLC brand acrylic cooler though...

TS change the title of topic to fan club

I used xpsM1530 before with a Cooler Master Notepad Infinite.
It is 63 at idle,open firefox then 69 70,play dota then go to 90++

@red, ur talking about cpu or gpu? cause i'm talking about gpu...
